getting it started...

Well, I think that I'll start this up as there's no time like the present and I'm hoping that the first step is the hardest to getting this rolling.  As a side note, I'm going to try and tag all of these blogs with an Amazon link to the games for ease of investigation by interested parties.  If someone happens to buy a game through one of our links, that's just a little more positive reinforcement for keeping this rolling.

Anyway, today I was talking with Shauna and day-dreaming about Deadly Premonition all day.  It's funny to me that we're basically finished with the game and it still seeps into both of our minds.  It probably doesn't help that I was listening to the soundtrack for it for the better half of the day.  Anyone interested in said soundtrack can find some well-prepared version out on the `net, just by searching.  If you're having a hard time, then let me know and I'll try to find and post a link to the place where I found it.  It's also sad, to me, that we can obsess about it so much and then not have the time, with our other plans and TV schedule for this morning.  It'll just have to wait for another day, I guess.  It's not like any citizens of Greenvale are waiting for us...well, maybe no one except Nick.

After arriving at home, this evening, I decided to play some Hasbro Family Game Night while waiting for Shauna to make it back from work.  I think I made a little progress before being interrupted by a guy that was dangling the "Beating Tough Competition" achievement in NHL 08, over my head.  It was go time!  I guess he wasn't too bad beyond a little verbal abuse, since I've heard whispers of people charging MS Points in order to bestow that achievement on others.  Well, one way or the other, it's done now and, hopefully, I won't have to deal with any more games that have their servers being shut down, at least for another year. :-\

Anyway, ran out to do some errands and get dinner with Shauna.  After that, watched TV until 10 and then plugged away on hockey some more.  I feel like the controls on this one are way more complicated than the last time I played, to the point where my created team of atomic supermen were still bested by the mediocre team of Japan.  Sorry Flint Sorcerers (my team's name) maybe next game...
